LAST MINUTE SHOPPING HELP

 

Here at Marilu.com we incorporate health into every aspect of our lives.  Being frazzled is not good for your stress levels or your health.  Practice good time management and let us help you with your shopping.

We have two suggestions for gift giving today.   From now until the end of the year you can purchase a yearly membership for a friend at the renewal rate.  The best part of that deal?  Marilu will write to the recipient personally and welcome them to the family.

One more in the “gift that keeps on giving” category.  Marilu’s 2014 calendar !

 

 

Instead of fighting the crowds why not take the time to shop now with a few easy clicks and enjoy some found time?  Linger over your meal, see a movie, call a friend.

 

 

PEACE BEGINS WITH YOU

Are you wishing for more peace and less stress?  Who isn’t these days?  Here’s a tip from Marilu, taken from the 2013 calendar.  (If you love these tips today is a good day to order the 2014 calendar!)

 

“Hopefully you’re not letting the flurry of activity stress you out.  If you are, try meditation for fifteen minutes today.  ’Meditation improves your concentration and focus, which benefits memory, ‘ says Dharma Singh Khalsa, the medical director and president of the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation.  Mediation reduces stress, which takes it toll on your memory.”

 

HOLIDAY SAFETY FOR PETS

 

 

 

At this time of year it makes sense to take some extra safety precautions with candles, garland, decorations.  Remember to give some extra consideration to the animals in your household.  One of our Marilu.com members tells us that she gave her children specific safety instructions while using needles to string cranberry and popcorn but forgot to put the dog out of the room.   He gobbled up a string of the delicious garland !  There’s a happy ending.  He fully recovered but he required (expensive) surgery to remove the needle from his throat.

 

Check out these tips from petmd so that you can be mindful, and a little more relaxed, for the holidays.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CONSUMPTION

Turn on the news in the last week of November and you’re sure to see images of people camped out in the cold in front of the big box stores, or shoppers trampling one another to get a good deal.  Sadly some of these stories have taken a turn for the tragic in recent years.

 

What does this mean for you personally?  What does it mean for your happiness and your health?

Items you should NEVER buy on credit !

 

There are a lot of good reasons to use a credit card.  We hope that you will use them responsibly and not as a way to live beyond your means.   Being fiscally responsible is an important part of reducing stress and staying healthy.   But when you DO pull out the plastic keep these tips in mind.

A LOOK BACK

Check out this article, recently published in The Huffington Post.  It takes a look back on the Best and Worst health trends of 2013.  A few of the trends mentioned are ones you might like to investigate going into the new year.  And there are a few that will remind you to apply critical thinking to your choices.  For example, going gluten free is a great choice for many people but (just as in going dairy free, or vegan) you need to be careful not to load up on processed foods because they carry a GF label.  Fresh whole foods are best for people who want to be their BEST !

While you’re looking back don’t forget to LOOK AHEAD.   We’re kicking off 2014 with a brand new class.  NO BOUNDARIES is the class that will help you break through whatever is standing in your way…even if it’s a boundary that you put there yourself.

 

All classes are included in your membership.  Click here to join today:  http://www.marilu.com/becomemember.php

BANNED FOOD ?

The information in this article may change the way you look at some of the items in your grocery cart.  When it comes to your health it’s best to be well informed.   Those of us living in the U.S. are being sold foods that are banned in some other countries.  Of course these aren’t the only items that you need to learn about.   Be an informed consumer, read labels and make wise decisions based on everything you’ve learned.
